Millions Didn't Make It



Recommended Posts

On Dec. 16, 2016 I was sleeved after fighting for it for more than two years. When time came my insurance covered all the cost. I had support and so on.

Presently I am close to being 70lbs down. I feel much stronger. Through exercise I am having more energy to tackle my day.

I am saying all this because I realize one truth-- God alone enabled me to even begin this journey. There are many in our country and elsewhere whom could even dare to dream to have such an opportunity. I am very thankful for His mercy and grace in this situation. He could have seen my situation and left me in it, but He deemed otherwise was best for me.

There is this old Winan song "Millions". The chorus goes, "millions didn't make it, but I am one of the ones who did." Now this song is not talking about salvation and not WLS, but think the truth still applies. God doing a work that only He can do. If you are interested the link to the video is below.

I am grateful that God took my very old dog last week with much love. I feel like my arm or heart is amputated. I know my girl is okay. My other gratitude is that she went pre-op and not in 4 weeks time post-op. How would I have coped and how could I have nursed her? Thanks.

No, I made a mistake.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
